BBC Proms 1996

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Rene Jacobs makes his Proms debut as early music director in a concert of Baroque music from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
The programme opens and closes with Bach - his suite for strings, with its timeless Air on a G String, and his most taut and concise choral work. In between, there is expressive and thrilling music from one of Handel's once-neglected operas.

Maria Bayo and Susan Gritton (sopranos), Andreas Scholl (countertenor), Jamie MacDougall (tenor), Peter Kooy (bass), Choir of New College, Oxford, Choir of Winchester Cathedral, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, conductor Rene Jacobs
